GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions Prediction: A must-watch playoff encounter

GWS Giants and Brisbane Lions will square it off at Sydney Showground in the quarterfinal of this AFL encounter. The two teams will head into this game with confidence. However, the GWS Giants won the two-legged encounter in the regular season. Will this game end in another way🏅?

GWS Giants

The GWS Giants were unlucky against the Sydney Swans in the round ⅛ and now have to give their all in this game. In the match against the Sydney Swans, the GWS Giants won the first two quarters, 10-17 and 19-33, while they also held the Swans to 19-19 in the third quarter. In the meantime, the GWS Giants were blown out in the fourth quarter, losing 40-13, which saw the Sydney Swans overturn the game. Heading into this game, the GWS Giants have suffered consecutive defeats after their final day encounter in the regular season ended in a 98-61 against the Western Bulldogs. 

Brisbane Lions

The Brisbane Lions stepped up big against the Carlton Blues to win 99-71 in the first playoff round. In that encounter, the Brisbane Lions had a very strong start as they blew the Carlton Blues 35-0 in the first quarter. However, they kept things going in the second quarter, a 26-13 win. However, they lost the last two quarters, 11-19 and 27-39. Still, they were able to make it to the quarterfinals, thanks to a strong first quarter. Heading into this game, the Brisbane Lions have three wins in their last five matches, their defeats being against the GWS Giants and Collingwood Magpies. 

Expert Betting Tips

Lions will win this game despite not being favored by the bookies in this game. The Brisbane Lions were one of the season's revelations despite having a very slow start. While the GWS Giants have a strong season, they could not get past the Swans last weekend. With the two teams being strong offensively, I expect this game to end with many points while the Brisbane Lions make the semis.
